hello. i heard that the galaxy tab have a newton ring problem and a main "causer" of this is heat.
this is a series problem for me because i live in kuwait and it is 40+C and getting 40*C is lucky
and people say the screen crack very easy on low drops
i am thinking of asus transformer pad
what should i get
if your answer is the galaxy tab 10.1 because it is thin then save it for yourself
Hello, so far the samsung galaxy is one of the best tablets on the market. But the newton ring is a real pita. I suggest you to wait and see what will happen in the next weeks. I think they'll try to address this issue as soon as they can.

Ok what is Newton Ring in layman's term? Read it in wiki and all I understood is there's some light interference between two surfaces, etc

I'm in Texas.... Now it's about 105 every day and i'm using my tab by the pool everyday for like 1 hour. i have the tab since like 4 weeks or something like that and it works perfectly. no issues because of the heat.
dude,
don't hurry to get the tab. apart from the newton's rings prob, right now they are in deep **** especially ''after the australia's ruling'', and in the following days/weeks, the tab might even get banned in other countries. i guess Sammy might even stop production , and get another model out fast.(they have done it with p7100 so this wont come as a surprise).

thanks guys for all the comments.
but even if there wasn't a newton ring problem ... i am still having second thoughts whether i should buy the transformer or the galaxy tab
i dont think i care about the thin stuff
The main reason I bought the galaxy tab was because of how thin and light it is. Also I wouldn't be using hdmi out so the lack of a built in adapter didn't matter to me. If you do plan on using hdmi out, keep in mind that in order to use it on the galaxy tab, you would have to to buy an extra adapter and with the transformer, you would not. Same goes for OTG USB devices; you would need an adapter for the galaxy tab. But it really is amazing how much lighter and thinner this tablet is compared to any other tablet... I've owned the xoom and it was like carrying around a brick; the transformer is only 50 grams lighter than the xoom whereas the galaxy tab is over 100 grams lighter than the transformer. I've had great experiences with both Asus and Samsung hardware but in the end, I chose Samsung due to the much smaller form factor. If you do decide to buy the galaxy tab, you will be buying from a newer batch of them which seem to not suffer from the Newtonian rings problem.

The never-ending battle.
Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011 - 10:21 am - Android, General, Transformer
Been a while since last post, but it appears ASUS’s counter move have finally come.
All signs point to that with the B70 revision of the Transformer, they have changed the Secure Boot Key.
At the same time they appear to have disabled downgrades in the more recent revisions of the firmware (the one B70 comes with!)
This means: At this point it’s not possible to root B70 revision ASUS Transformers. We will of course see what we can do to find a way around it, but keep in mind neither of us have access to a B70 revision model nor do we intend to spend the money needed to get one.
It was a good run, and congrats to all those with pre-B70 revision devices and bummer for everyone who bought newer revision devices hoping to root
Thanks,
RaYmAn & Bumble-Bee

I'm waiting on my GT10.1 right now while I am at work and it is out for delivery.
I was in the same boat trying to decide between this and the TF. Ultimately I decided on the GT because of how it felt in my hand. Its not about thin, but it is related. When I held the TF, it felt great in landscape. Lots of bezel for my thumbs to grip but not obscure the screen and the back felt amazing. But the instant I turned the TF to portrait, it just felt bulky and awkward. Nowhere to put my thumbs and the curved back isn't as graceful in that orientation. Just felt fat to me. I sorta like the idea of an sdcard and hdmi, but with enough memory I probably won't use it. My phone has 16G built in and another 16G card, but I never put anything on the card.
Once I had basically decided, i did some digging and I'm actually really excited about the TouchWiz update. Personally I think it will make it more attractive (I don't like the Tron look of stock) and adds features. Basically once you stop going back and forth there will be a lot to love about whichever tablet you choose.
These are the two I am deciding on and hope to buy one a little later today. I have a samsung phone. Great device. People complain about the slowness of samsung updates. Turns out it doesn't really matter if you root and rom, so I quit worrying about that. My concern is that lack of micro-sdcard slot. On the one hand, I think 16gb is enough and perhaps this is the future, what with streaming and all. On the other hand, it would be nice to have those ports (with a usb adapter to carry around.
Then, just to confuse me further, my brother's Acer 500 is pretty nice too and has usb and micro-sdcard.
So, are people missing the sdcard slot and usb? the thin and light Samsung is in the lead atm

at first I thought I would miss the microSD slot but you could buy their 30 pin to USB for 19.99 at BB or go for the 30 pin/USB & 30pin/SD connector from expansys.
http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung...-10-1-30-pin-to-usb-30-pin-to-sd-slot-219891/
I bought the 19.99 usb connector & http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HGFKR8 from Amazon for less than $9.99.
My USB connector does help not having on-board microSD slot

How sure are we on this?? any idea of batch numbers or something which seem to have these issues fixed?
Bought mid June at Best Buy , and have the newtonrings
Hi, I life in Begium and was lucky to buy a SGT 10.1 in pre-order at Best Buy during our vacation in the US , mid June.
Unfortunely I've noticed last week also the "newton rings" , kind of "oil" in the middle under the touchscreen
I have take contact with Samsung Belgium by phone ... they never heard about that (maybe because the tab 10.1 is still NOT official released in our country)
I have send a email, but still waiting for an answer.
It happens only when the tablet is getting "hot" ... sometimes when sitting outdoor into the sun, about 25 degrees Celsius ... so that's not so hot
Made contact again with Samsung Belgium, finally they accepted the touchscreen problem.
They gave me a adress in Holland, a repair center.
Device send to Holland, posting on my own costs.
So they exchange the screen and sended my device back home

Yes. I have a B6 model (in the serial number) and a friend has a B8 model.
The B6 does not have the SAMSUNG name on the bottom of the glass near the charge port. The B8 (newer model) does.
Apparently, the newer batches have the SAMSUNG name on them. That being said, I don't have any Newton's rings on my B6 32GB model.

Any which way, itll be a month or so before cases specifically for the tab start trickling into my homeland Russia.
So, has anyone got a generic case yet? The tech market where i bought mine said there were compatible cases out there from ereaders and the like.
Im not sure i can cope with ordering a case from abroad...
I know Noreve is extremely popular in Russia.
They got some extremely nice case for Tab with built-in stand and other tricks.
Amazon both .com and .co.uk are full with cases for tab.
Even e-bay got some.
I have seen that one case at http://www.noreverussia.com/noreve/pda/samsung/samsung_2118.html
To be honest I really don't want my gadget case to hold my passport and business cards.I could use something
with no pockets until some better stuff comes out. That tradition case is like $120 and pretty grotesque...
EDIT: upon closer inspection it looks quite good. If anyone has the ipad version id be interested to know if its svelte enough?
What I actually had on my mind was this one/ but upon closer inspection it looks identical to me
The case from my old Archos 704 is a near perfect fit. The Tab is quite a bit thinner, but otherwise it's perfect.
Could you take a picture please? This would be much cheaper than the case noreve... preferably of the place where it seems loose.
I assume that last post, requesting a photo, was meant for me.
It was... thanks. Pity its a sleeve rather than a cutout case. Whats it called, do you know?
Really don't know if it has it's own name. It's the case from an Archos 704, that was part of the standard archos retail package. I have no idea if they're available alone, but if not, there are quite often people selling broken archos 704's or 705's on ebay, maybe get in touch with one of them.
Will there be major differences between the American and European versions? I'm in two minds asking my girlfriend to pick it up from the states or wait till its released here.
Will it need different ROMs, or will they be the same?

The power spec is the same. But the adapter plug is not for the UK so you will have to buy a Samsung travel adapter which are readily available or use the adapter from the Galaxy Tab if you have one.

I think this is a big issue. There's already reports of touch screen glass coming away from the body for the IO version. If you're an early adopter then you have to accept that you are likely to find flaws/issues that were missed by Samsung's QA team. To take that risk without being covered with warranty is a pretty big gamble.
I'm also from UK and would love to get this device but I'm using the later release in UK as a good opportunity to monitor reports of issues with the device coming from early adopters of regions where it is released early.
looks like 3G might be different

I understand PC World / Currys went live with the TF300T over this weekend.
Has anyone got one from there either on pre-order or picked up one at store.
If so can you give me a quick run down of your thoughts.
The reason I ask is currently these are the only UK specific units available and I would like to know UK customers early feedback on UK specific model.
If you could give first few letters of serial number just to compare how these might differ from US models that are being talked about extensively on the forum.
Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.
Got mine Wednesday last week from PC World in Hanley, Stoke on Trent.
A few minor issues...light bleed on left hand side of the screen and the top of screen isnt glued down properly so it's uneven and you can see a raised hump in the middle when you look at the top of the screen. ASUS certainly seem to have quality control issues with their tablets. Will i keep it though? Probably. Despite the problems it's certainly better than the 4 primes i've had and returned.
The actual firmware seems OK and pretty much everything works as expected. Arrived with .17 and rooted using Sparky's tool with no issue.
Don't think i have many issues. My clock sometimes stays frozen and maybe a some lag but on the whole its great.

Yes and no. I went to my local PCW on Saturday and there was an empty space where the TF300 was supposed to be. Turns out they were having problems getting the security tab to stick to the textured back so the display model had been put in a back room. The assistant was actually helpful (yes, this really was PC World ) and went to get it without giving me any bluff about specs or why I should buy.
Verdict: I like it, but do I want this or an iPad 3...

Right....might have to just order one - was waiting for the "Black Brown" colour scheme, but I just can't wait any longer after bricking my Galaxt 7.7" late last year...
Give us the heads up once you have got it and tell us how it is going...are you on Telstra? [Keen to see what the 4g is like if you are]
Also keen to hear which ROM it is using ?

Unless I activate my spare Boost SIM I'm on Kogan. I really only got the 4G as the price was so good it seemed sill not to.
Will report on it in comparison to my Nexus 7. I really want full voice calling/sms capability on a tablet and stop carrying two devices, two SIMS two plans etc.
I bricked my Note N7000 last week - tried to install Swapper 2. Wasn't until after it died I search for Swapper 2 problems that I saw how risky this app was
It's in for a quote to repair (unbrick) now.... I'm hoping if the Note 8.0 is good enough I can sell the Note N7000 and Nexus 7 and have one device... and one that's better for browsing than the Nexus is. We'll see how that all pans out.
Cheers

Here you go (let me know if the link doesn't work):
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-...AAAAAAAAw_k/VNFL65TYrv8/w549-h878-no/2013+-+1
Delivery was good.
Ordered 23/5
Released in Hong Kong 24/5 (Fri)
Shipped Mon 27/5
730am 30/5 arrived at my door (western Sydney)
Box was completely sealed.
First impressions:
It's a much better form factor than the Nexus 7. Reading books is no issue, but e-magazines and websites really benefit from the 8" screen. Bezel is bigger than the Nexus so it is easier to hold only the device not the screen as well. Great for reading and swiping to next page.
Not sure what "reading mode" does (yet), but I've locked it in portrait mode for Kindle and Web browsing. Will try landscape as the added width of landscape did work well on the Nexus for some sites.
I use Nova Launcher, but didn't have any issue with TouchWiz - except I'd have to set up all my icons again, so moved my Nexus Nova backup file across and restored once I'd restored all my apps and voila' same home screen
3G "seems" faster than my Galaxy Note N7000 as if the radio antenna is bigger giving a better connect. However it's totally subjective.
Haven't tried voice or 4G yet. (Using Kogan so only have 3G).
Speed is about the same, technically it's faster but for email and browsing you can't tell.
Speakers are on the bottom and work well. Sound for music and games is quite audible
I got used to the Nexus no physical home button, and don't like the Note 8.0's physical button. It feels flimsy (even though my Note N7000 had the same thing).
Screen is very crisp and clear even if not an IPS or better screen.
Waiting on a case from eBay before I venture out with bluetooth headset as a phone.
Can't talk about lag yet as I'm still downloading music, and updates and customising so I need to allow the device to "settle" before I decide if there's any lag.
I've rooted with framaroot which has lost OTA updates (I did one first).
I haven't yet put clockwork mod or TWRP recovery - waiting for more work by the devs on the 5120 before I play too much
Overall I'm happy with the purchase (i.e. grey import) and the device.
Cheers Russ

I wouldn't worry about flashing the AUS ROM, for some reason it takes out the option to customise the Lock Screen Apps.
ie: they took the option out completely.
Other than a couple of Channel 7 Apps, there was nothing better about popping on the local ( or NZ ROM, as I tried both ) so I just flashed straight back to the HK Rom so I could customise my Lock Screen Apps.
4G works a treat on Telstra and Optus, am interested to see what happens when sad old Vodafone turn their 4G on.
Though what I don't like is the trendy Book Cover, as if you slightly move it it thinks you're opening it and turns the screen on, which is annoying in a bag. Silly Samsung Accessories.
Using it as an actual phone is hilarious, though I have a headset for phone calls. It's fun writing txts on.

I just bought one for my wife. I have one too and they are great.
It cost me about £220 second hand. The note 4 is considerably more and not £100+ better. So sick with the note 3. Camera is 13 mega pixel and more than just adequate.
I don't really care what the Samsung support is, I put custom roms on both phones so they think they are note 5's. The support on xda is all you need. Get a decent case and screen protector and it'll last.
If you can get it for a price you want them go for it. Still a great phone.

Thank you for the honest reply
Whats roms are good for battery life
Well. I'm using the phronensis rom, which, despite its silly name is pretty dammed good. But have a look around, the thread titles will usually say if they are geared for performance or battery life (or both).
If you're new to rooting and installing custom roms then I'd recommend the all in one tool kit by skipsoft. Just search 'xda skipsoft' in Google. It pretty much does it all for you (or at least it holds your hand through the process). Just make sure that what you tell it is correct and toy should be good to go.
And be careful. I always read the last few comments in a thread to see what bugs have been reported and if the rom is still being updated. Wouldn't hurt to look up a tutorial on YouTube either.
Send me a private message if you'd like a phone chat about it
Would suggest flashing Lean or Idle kernel for good battery life.
Thanks guys

Buy it unlocked, otherwise unlock codes from EE will cost you. And there are no such tools.
And very likely you're looking at SM-N9005, the Snapdragon version. There's a tiny chance you might have happened upon N900, the Exynos version that has no 4G support. The performance of the two variants is identical.
Thank you , the price for an unlocked note is alot more expensive than the ee branded ohone

For me after trying a lot of roms the better battery life have got is with this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-qs-n9005-lp-t3037655
right gents,
i am now a proud owner of a note 3 unlock, running stock lolipop atm 5.0 going to root and start trying a rom,
paid £160 got an extra 3 batteries plus official samsung box, and samsung usb 3.0 extra battery charger...
and Armoured Case,
Slight marks on left hand side of casing, does not affect screen
i have another case, glass screen coming tomorrow also!
Thanks guys, very happy
cant believe how big it is im coming from a 5.5 inch phone also
Picked one up for $35 as a back up and to flash roms, best amount of money I've ever spent on a Android device!
For a phone this old it still kicks ass.

Well. I'm using the phronensis rom, which, despite its silly name is pretty dammed good. But have a look around, the thread titles will usually say if they are geared for performance or battery life (or both).
If you're new to rooting and installing custom roms then I'd recommend the all in one tool kit by skipsoft. Just search 'xda skipsoft' in Google. It pretty much does it all for you (or at least it holds your hand through the process). Just make sure that what you tell it is correct and toy should be good to go.
And be careful. I always read the last few comments in a thread to see what bugs have been reported and if the rom is still being updated. Wouldn't hurt to look up a tutorial on YouTube either.
Send me a private message if you'd like a phone chat about it

Phronesis (Ancient Greek: φρόνησις) is a word used in the ancient greek and means "wisdom" or "intelligence", common theme in philosophical debates. As you can see, this word can be anything but silly my friend
Thanks for the translation of the name but got to agree does sound odd, not yet flashed but does look absolutely beautiful.
35 dollars wow bargain that's just over 20 pounds in the UK.
Are the phones capable of fast charging only seems to be charging at 1200mah on all my chargers even the fast charge 2.0 charger I have
